Abstract

A speaker securement assembly for headwear comprising a body member, a first speaker arm and a second speaker arm. One end of each of the speaker arms are inserted within the body member. The position of the speaker arms can be adjustable with respect to the body member. The non-insertion ends of the first and second speaker arms can be provided with speaker connectors, which in one embodiment can be an opening, for snugly received an associated Speaker. Preferably, two Clasps can be provided at or near the outer ends of the body member for removably securing the body member to the headwear to be worn by the user. With the body member secured to the headwear and the headwear worn by the user, the Speakers received within connectors at the ends of the speaker arm can be positioned at or near to the wearer's ears.
